Friday, October 12, 2007:
Nokia Siemens Networks has bagged a greenfield rural tender from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to deploy broadband access across 7000 Indian villages. The new access network's high bandwidth will allow BSNL to deliver high-data and triple play intensive services such as Video on Demand, Video Multi cast, IPTV, Video Conferencing and VPN amongst others to its customers. The network will also enable BSNL to provide connectivity to CSCs (community service centres) and other e-governance locations. As part of the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks is deploying its Gigabit Ethernet-capable IP DSLAMs Surpass hiX5625 (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers) and chassis based access switch (Surpass hiD6615).
The two-year agreement includes supply, installation and commissioning, training and annual maintenance contract for five years.

NSN will also supply end-user devices that will enable BSNL to provide speeds of up to 24Mbps for ADSL2+ subscribers over its existing copper infrastructure. The first phase of new lines deployment will be completed by Q1 of 2008.
"The BSNL rural broadband project will bridge digital divide and connect 20,000 villages in India. Nokia Siemens Networks with its cutting-edge technology portfolio and its strong existing
relationship with BSNL, is an ideal partner in our efforts to deliver world class broadband services and drive long-termed sustained economic growth for India," said Kuldeep Goyal, chairman and managing director, BSNL.
This is the second rural broadband access tender BSNL has awarded to Nokia Siemens Networks. The company is also in parallel deploying the urban broadband access for BSNL across 15 circles. First phase of that roll-out is in advance stages of completion for 800,000 ports.
